 nIn this lecture\, Hilde will present her recently published book:  Recons
 tructions of Gender and Information Technology: Women Doing IT for Themsel
 ves.  Her book explores what makes women decide to pursue a career in male
 -dominated fields such as information technology (IT). It reveals how wome
 n experience gendered stereotypes but also how they bypass\, negotiate\, a
 nd challenge such stereotypes\, reconstructing gender-technology relations
  in the process. Using the example of Norway to illuminate this challenge 
 in Western countries\, the book includes a discussion of the “gender equ
 ality paradox”\, where gender equality exists in parallel with gender se
 gregation in fields such as IT.
